Artist Statement

My images are a deeply personal form of self-expression. They are an intimate translation of what lies between my lens and my mind.

For me, it is about bringing out the beauty, sadness, or excitement in what surrounds me, and translating my ideas into an art form. The colors and textures I choose are selected to create a subtle emotion that compliment the subject rather than transform it.

In my portraits, the subjects I am drawn to possess natural beauty, innocence, and subtlety. They are delicate representations that possess a dreamy, childlike sense. I prefer candid shots that capture natural expression – spontaneous, uninhibited, and unreserved.

I am drawn to detail in expression, in textures, and colors, and in sentiment. I attempt to communicate the emotion of my images in less obvious ways, and find myself drawn to dreamy, understated treatments.

I am inspired by many forms of photography and alternative process techniques and attempt to incorporate variations of these into my digital images. My ambition is to create images that return the same sense of emotion for the viewer as it has for the artist.

Thank you! Life is crazy, my friend. I wish I had the opportunity to post more. Couldn't get the creativity flowing for some time, and now it's back and I just don't have as much time as I would like. I think taking a break from it was what I needed because I came back renewed. And now I crave the camera in my hand but my free time is gone lol. Guess its always a catch-22 situation.

And how about you? How have you been?

Guess I'm in the drought of creativity at present. Still aspire to to produce cracking shots, but seem to be more content with a fishing rod in my hand than with the camera at present. Am hoping the break might rejuvenate me too then. Other than that am good thanks, still trying to get over to the USA, but the whole green card thing is a bit complicated it appears!!

It's about what resides in the soul of a man and what he chooses to do with it. *Blind Willie Johnson (1897-1945)

My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that, and I intend to end up there. *Rumi (1207-1273)
